Red Cross Light Weight Well Equipped Emegency Radio a "Must Carry!" It can save lives & despair.:
After nearly forty-five years in security & emergency services as both vocation & avocation & having lived in the Midwest ("Tornado Ally") for seven years & listening to NOAA Weather Radio Alerts on less than perfect portable radios---I purchased two [American Red Cross FR 150 Emergency Radios] from Amazon, sight unseen. Amazingly they work REALLY well! One was a present to my grandson who has traveled all over the country (soon around the world) into some very rough & tricky weather... more info
Red Cross Solar Flashlight/Radio:
Ever go to grab a flashlight only to find the battery is dead? They all are in my house, except for this little unit that's kept on the window sill to keep it charged. Handy and always ready to go.
Nice radio:
Overall this is a very good product that does what it's designed to do, the crank is easy to turn and the flashlight is bright, I wish I had it when the power failed in the hotel in Aruba last year. The radio receives AM/FM and Weather stations well, but I am in a major metropolitan area how it performs in a rural area I can't say. The only negative I can find is a lack of information on the output of the "cell phone charger" and how to get jacks to adapt to it.
Come on Windstorm Im ready now:
This is perfect to put away for that emergency. It is well built and functions as described. It is a very small package.
